Students should use graphic organizers to represent knowledge and talk about them. Venn diagrams, charts, webs, and timelines, can be designed to make complex content more understandable for ELLs. Textbooks can often be too complicated for these students. Graphic organizers help them understand knowledge and store it in another way.
